Dendrobium Berry 'Oda'
 

Yesterdays find, Den. Berry 'Oda'. A very common plant here. Nevertheless I like the dainty little flowers and their smell. Oh so sweet!
In the past it has proven to be an easy grower (for me).

They're hard to find in the US. I bought a division. It's barely alive after a rat attack but I think it can still survive.

OMG, when that happens to a plant which is hard to get, that's terrible.

I read in old topics that this Den. is hard to get in the US. I wondered if that still is the case.
Here you can find them regularly in gardencenters.

Yes, it's still not easy to find. I've tried a few times.

I'm away from my records. When I have access I'll post where I got mine. It's a division of the awarded plant. He spoke to our Society but I can't remember his name. We don't keep old meetings on the Web site.

I have two pseudobulbs remaining, after thinking it would flower this Spring.

Berry Oda doesnt do anything
 

Hey dear orchid people,

so i got me a berry oda keiki a few years back and looking back, it realldy didnt do much AT ALL since. It grew maybew 3 or 4 canes, never bloomed or produced keikis. Its sitting on my window sill facing south souht east, very bright, where temps vary between the high 50s and high 80s. I keep it faily most in coarse pine bark and a transparent plastic pit with air holes. I realldy do like their blooms a lot, but I am puzzled by the non progress of things. What can I do?

For me, it grows 1 cane on a lead yearly and likes to grow outdoors during summer, also where you live. It benefits from the temperature differences between day and night.
I brought mine indoors (SSW) early this year (September) because of non orchid related circumstances but it’s growing spikes already.

During summer I keep it damp. Withholding fertilizer once the canes are mature. Now I water before it goes entirely dry.

My plant grows outdoors during summer, not shaded, on NNE. That should be enough to get it grow canes and spikes.

If you do all of this, I think your plant might be too small to flower.
Berry ’Oda’ isn’t that fuzzy about growing conditions.

About temperatures, it easily accepts temperatures as low as 8C during the night. But apparently it doesn’t need that to flower.

Many thanks fpr your quick reply. I heard as well that it isnt a fuzzy grower, which is why im even more confused by it.
